Have you ever been caught in a traffic jam, desperately needing to get somewhere quickly? Or have you ever felt it inconvenient to take a phone call while driving? The Tian-Net will help solve these kinds of dilemmas. Tian-Net is developed by Tian'an Smart Science & Technology Company, a Wuxi enterprise focusing on the internet of vehicles (IoV).
When Tian'an products are installed in the vehicle, drivers can take photos of real-time road situations or even the scenery alongside the car and send the images to friends by voice control, which guarantees safer driving. These features are connected to an online cloud, where users can communicate with one another and even select the fastest route home. With single words like "violence" or "crime", drivers can capture and upload potentially violent occurrences and criminal activities to report to a police cloud platform to help guard public safety as well.
Cooperating with China Mobile, one of the three Chinese mobile communication giants, Tian-Net has made great effort to create intelligent transportation in China. According to Yang Lei, the CEO of Tian'an, some 470,000 vehicles will be equipped with IoT facilities in the near future, which means a 45-billion-yuan ($7 billion) deal will be made.
"Mobile internet boosts the efficiency of society as a whole," said Yang Lei. As Wuxi is the first city in China to launch the city-level IoV exemplary project, huge changes will continue to occur.
For example, intelligent signal lamps will spring up all over the city, which can autonomously adjust each signal's duration to avoid traffic jams in advance. This amazing function is based on the wider application of the Internet of Things (IoT) features in cars.
Wuxi has set the IoT industry as one of its key industries in recent years, as the IoT has widespread application in daily life, ranging from public security to intelligent household appliances.
